Chronic Pain & Nerve Problems
Chronic pain is frequently treated as a problem of the painful body part, with escalating medications or procedures aimed at the site. But when pain persists long after tissues have healed, the driver often lies in a sensitized nervous system — something a scan of the knee or back won't reveal. This mismatch leaves many people cycling through treatments that target the wrong level of the problem.
Also known as
fibromyalgia, neuropathy, CRPS, complex regional pain, neuralgia, chronic pain, nerve pain, peripheral neuropathy, central sensitization
ICD-10
M79.7 (Fibromyalgia), G62 (Polyneuropathy), G90.50 (CRPS), G50.0 (Trigeminal neuralgia), M54 (Back pain)
How focused education closes the gap
Clinicians trained in the neuroscience of pain address the nervous system, not just the painful site.- Assess central sensitization and nerve function alongside structural findings- Identify when pain is being driven by the nervous system rather than tissue damage- Translate that understanding into a functional neurology, multi-modal pain strategy

Chronic pain and nerve problems affect a large portion of adults and represent one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Unlike acute pain, which signals tissue damage, chronic pain often persists after healing is complete — and in many cases the nervous system itself has become sensitized, amplifying signals that would otherwise be minor. Nerve problems add another layer, with burning, tingling, or numbness arising from dysfunction along the peripheral or central pathways. This is why treatments aimed only at the painful site so often disappoint: they target tissue when the real driver is the nervous system. A functional neurology perspective reframes persistent pain as a nervous-system phenomenon, assessing central sensitization and nerve function alongside any structural findings. That reframing opens treatment avenues that purely structural approaches overlook. For people who have been through injection after procedure with little lasting relief, understanding that the nervous system can be the source — and can be retrained — offers a genuinely different way forward.
Chronic pain and nerve problems present in varied and often confusing ways:- Pain that persists beyond the expected healing time- Burning, tingling, or "pins and needles" sensations- Numbness or heightened sensitivity to touch- Pain that spreads beyond the original site- Pain disproportionate to any visible injury- Worsening with stress, poor sleep, or fatigue
In persistent pain, the nervous system can undergo central sensitization — neurons in the spinal cord and brain become hyper-responsive, amplifying pain signals and even generating pain without ongoing tissue damage. Nerve problems can compound this through damage or dysfunction along peripheral pathways. Because imaging examines structure rather than nervous-system function, scans frequently look unremarkable while a person remains in significant, daily pain. That gap is why a model focused only on the painful site so often falls short — and why a functional neurology assessment of the nervous system's role, including how sensitized those pathways have become, is central to meaningful, lasting relief. Recognizing that level is what finally aligns the treatment with the actual source of the pain.
What to expect
Do you work with companies outside North America?
Yes. We run programs internationally and have active partnerships across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Our Haarlem, Cape Canaveral, Minnetonka, and Adelaide venues reflect the global reach of our community.
Can we sponsor an existing course instead of creating a new one?
Yes — this is a common "Advertise With CI" arrangement. Sponsoring a module, livestream, or course gives you aligned visibility without the lead time of building new content. Get in touch to discuss available opportunities.
How is pricing structured?
Partnerships are priced based on scope, reach, and scale. We share specifics during a discovery call once we understand what you're looking to accomplish.
Who owns the content we co-create?
IP arrangements vary by partnership. For most "Create With CI" engagements, CI retains ownership of the curriculum format and delivery infrastructure while partners retain rights over their branded content and any proprietary clinical content they bring. We detail this in every agreement.
Do you offer exclusivity?
Within certain partnership tiers and campaign windows, yes. Exclusivity is always negotiated per engagement and reflects the scale of commitment.
How long is a typical engagement?
t depends on the partnership type. Advertising and sponsorships can start within weeks. Custom content co-creation ("Create With CI") typically takes 3–6 months from agreement to release. On-site program delivery ("Bring CI To You") varies by scale — a single-day presentation can be arranged in a month or two; a multi-module program may take a full year to plan and execute.
